Abstract
We report the evolution of the antimicrobial resistance of non-typhi S almonella (1992-1994) in a Spanish hospital in relation with a case of infection due to a fluoroquinolone-resistant strain of Salmonella ser . Typhimurium. None of the isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin. T he resistance to ampicillin has increased from 20.6% (1992) to 29.5% ( 1994) whereas no significative differences in chloramphenicol and cotr imoxazole susceptibility were noted.
